Setup
For best results, use this connection if:
sYour cable company scrambles all channels, which requires you to use a cable box.
sYou do not have a VCR. (If you have a VCR, see pages 30 and 32.)
With this connection you can:
sUse the remote control to change channels coming through the cable box to the TV’s VHF/UHF jack. (You must first program the remote control for your specific cable box, see page 58.)
